Kathmandu: Singing Bowl or Pottery Workshop with Pickup｜Nepal

Begin with pickup from your hotel in Kathmandu and a short drive to a local artisan workshop. After meeting your instructor, learn about the history of your chosen craft and why it remains an important part of Nepal's cultural heritage.

If you choose the Singing Bowl Workshop, discover how these iconic bowls are handcrafted using traditional metalworking techniques. Learn about their role in meditation, Buddhist rituals, yoga, and sound healing while participating in parts of the making process. Your instructor will explain the techniques used by local craftsmen and the care required to produce each handmade bowl.

If you choose the Pottery Workshop, work with natural clay and learn the basics of pottery making using a traditional potter's wheel. From shaping the clay to creating your own design, be guided step by step by experienced local potters. No previous experience is needed, making this workshop suitable for beginners as well as anyone interested in trying something new.

During the workshop, enjoy a cup of traditional Nepali tea and take time to chat with the artisans about their work, daily life, and the traditions that have been passed down through generations. You'll also have the chance to explore the workshop, watch other craftsmen at work, and browse a selection of locally made handicrafts.

Whether you're interested in art, culture, or simply looking for a unique activity in Kathmandu, this experience offers something different from the usual sightseeing tours. It's a chance to slow down, learn a traditional skill, and connect with the people who continue to keep these crafts alive.

At the end of the workshop, leave with more than just a souvenir—take home something you created yourself and a memorable experience that reflects the craftsmanship and culture of Nepal.
